This dwelling stands near the sea on the W shore of the
island, at a point most suitable for crossing to the mainland.
Buildings once enclosed three sides of an oblong courtyard, which
was completed on S by a screen-wall. The central portion and most
of the one on the W have disappeared, but the E portion is
habitable and has recently been restored by the proprietor, while
the screen-wall is almost entire. Enough is left to show that,
when complete, Laingskaill was one of the best of the smaller
house in Orkney.
Gives detailed description of architecture, listed under
Secular Buildings. [R1]
